Seagate External Hard Drive Power Supply Makes Noise
I recently bought a 5TB Seagate external hard drive and the drive works fine but the power supply makes a low whining sound. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it's usually quiet for a couple of minutes and then it starts to make the same sound again. It's not very noticeable but it was loud enough for me to notice and figure out where the sound was coming from.
I searched the net and found a few other people who reported the same problem with Seagate and Lacie external hard drive power supplies but it's unclear if the defect is simply an annoying sound or if the power supply will soon die. Any thoughts? If I submit an RMA, would I have to return the hard drive or just the power supply?
